    I was sick with a cold back in late November. It lasted about a week. It wasn't too bad.

    Plus, I take like 8000 mg of vitamin C everyday, which does a tremendous amount of good for my immunity.

    yes! Arrg, I had a really nasty cold in Jan that ended up having a bacterial infection along with it, made my throat swell almost shut, had to be hospitalized and everything for it. It went away, but I've got a wee bit of a cold again. Grrr, I just wanna be completely healthy again so I can make out and not worry about infecting my guy

    Yes. During the spring and summer I take around 4000-6000 mgs daily, but during the winter I take 8000 daily... sometimes as much as 10,000. Of course I don't take it just for my immune system, but it definitely helps.

    I take zinc as well, and vitamin E.

    For the past two years I have also been using colloidal silver, which I highly recommend to people that really want to boost their immunity.

    For the month of January, my kids and I were sick almost every single week with something. It was terrible, I seriously thought that I was going to go off the deep end of insanity. ;) My husband was lucky and didn't catch anything, almost, but he fought it off. It's crazy because he doesn't take very good care of himself whereas I do. He swears it's the beer he drinks every evening, says it kills off any germs. I don't know, but it's odd how he can passionately kiss me while I have Strep and not get it. He's got one kick-butt immune system. :p

    i almost never get sick. which is good, because i'm a total drag when i'm sick. i'm truly pitiful. i don't whine a lot, but my light sorta goes out. i'm not bouncy any more. it scares dave. he'll keep asking me if i need to see a doctor or something, which is irritating, and so ihave to pretend to feel better than i do. terrible thing.

    I haven't been sick in five years...

    Until a few weeks ago when I was having some stomach problems. I went to the doctor last week and they couldn't figure out what was wrong with me, so they gave me a urine test and took blood samples to test. Come to find out I had a urinary tract infection...so before I found that out, I woke up and couldn't breathe, my throat was swollen almost shut, every muscle in my body ached and my head throbbed.

    Come to find out the bacteria from my UTI got into my muscles...*shudders*

    I'm finally starting to feel better after almost two months.

    you know, i've noticed that people fall into mostly two categories, those who get sick all the time, and the people with recurring severe headaches or other such constant pain. i get the constant severe headaches: migraines, clusters, tmj, tension. i get them all and have a different pain reliever for each, though no opiates, sadly. ;)
